peasant: On the other hand, milord, knives have their uses. So too do the poisonous roots & cursed water of this pond.
a traveling salesmen stopping for a drink.: I for one shall not drink this water. I think I shall continue on in my journey elsewhere to find more refreshing water and companions!
peasant: None drink this water, milord, except those that wish for death. We peasants aren't as simple as you think. We don't drink this water, we use it and the plants here to poison our hunting arrows.
a traveling salesmen stopping for a drink.: Clever little peasant. Perhaps I have judged you too harshly.
peasant: It matters not to us, milord. We've always been poor and really treated well, such is our lot.
a traveling salesmen stopping for a drink.: Well I think you have changed me. Here take back your possession.

father: It is indeed beautiful, but that won't feed us or keep us warm. I am your father and I forbid you leave!
son: You don't let me dance, you don't let me sing, you don't let me go to school. I hate you!
father: Well, you hate me with a full belly and a warm ,safe place to sleep. Perhaps you should try it your way and then you'll find out what suffering is and come to your senses.
son: That's exactly what I am going to do. You will be shoveling dirt and I will be a famous dancer in the finest royal courts.
father: You are ungrateful and foolish. You will leave with nothing but the clothes on your back in exchange for your insult!
son: What would I take with me? Your house is made of mud and straw. When I am a rich and famous dancer you will be sorry.
father: No, when you are starving and dresed in rags, you'll be sorry. I'll tolerate no more of this. Go, now!

#Person1#: Hey, Susan. Have you got a sec? I have some questions about my paycheck.
#Person2#: You bet, Emily. Pull up a chair.
#Person1#: Well, this is my first paycheck here in the States and there are a few things I don't understand. First of all, what is this FICA, and SUI Y tax, and why are there deductions both for Medicare and for my health insurance plan?
#Person2#: OK, let's start from the top of your pay stub. This number here represents your gross pay. Then here we have a series of deductions. First off are the federal ones. FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contribution Act, or something like that. It's your federal income tax. And then there's Social Security and Medicare, which are both federal programs to help you out after you retire or if you were unable to work.
#Person1#: All right, I see. So the Medicare isn't actually a health insurance I can use now.
#Person2#: That's right. Below the federal deductions are the state deductions. There's the state income tax, and then this SUI/SDI tax you were asking about is paying into an unemployment and disability fund that our state has set up, but you can see it's a pretty small quantity that they take.
#Person1#: Yeah, I don't mind giving them a dollar fifty for that. So there are two separate income taxes,one at a state level and one at a federal level?
#Person2#: That's right. Not all states have an income tax. Some use higher property taxes or sales taxes instead.
#Person1#: I see. All right, well I think everything else I can figure out on my own. The deductions for health insurance and my 401(K) are pretty self-explanatory. Thanks for your help, Susan.
#Person2#: No problem! All those deductions do add up, and nobody's net pay is as high as they'd like. I can understand why you'd want some explanation.
#Person1#: Yeah, I guess it's the same in the UK, I just never paid much attention. See you later! | Emily's never done paycheck in the States before, so she asks Susan questions about it. Susan explains what the number and terms on the paycheck mean. Emily thanks Susan for her help. |
#Person1#: Hello Mabel Hotel. What can I do for you?
#Person2#: Hello, this is George Damon. Our company will be having a sales meeting in January, and we need to book a room for about 200 people. Does your hotel have something that can accommodate that number?
#Person1#: Yes sir, we have a couple of rooms for groups of that size.
#Person2#: Good, we'll need chairs, a stage and a projection screen.
#Person1#: Then I would suggest room 13.
#Person2#: Well, I don't like the room number.
#Person1#: Oh, sorry sir, room 19 and room 26 are also available.
#Person2#: I prefer something ending with nine.
#Person1#: I see, I'll reserve that for you right now. | #Person1# helps George Damon reserve a room with chairs, a stage, and a projection screen for George's company's meeting. |
child: I love pee'c cobblah! Pech Coller! Peach Cobbler!
wife: Sounds like a resounding "yes"! Alright then, peaches it is. We'll have to pick out some good ones.
child: How about this one momma?
wife: Oh! Well, I don't think that would taste very good in a cobbler. Where did you find this...peach, sweetheart?
child: In the peach pile!
wife: It's probably better if we put this one back. If you put it exactly where you found it, I'll get you a treat.
child: Momma . . .I see things in this peach.
wife: Put it back where you found it, please!
child: But momma . . .the voices tell me not to.
wife: Voices? Now now don't be silly. I'm sure that's just all the noise from all these people!
child: No momma, I see a flaming eye and it tells me it is coming.

royal family: Guard why do you just stand there? Get me a chair.
guard: Of course, which would you like?
royal family: The softest obviously. Be quick about it. My feet are not for standing.
guard: Yes here you go take this.
royal family: I guess that will do. Can you do something about this smell?
guard: Yes I will take out the trash.
royal family: Do you like my gown? Is it pretty?
guard: Yes it is exquisite as always, you are amazing.
royal family: I have many. This means nothing to me.
guard: Yes well anything works on you.

#Person1#: Well, what a nice day!
#Person2#: Yeah, the air is really fresh.
#Person1#: But it was not at all so fine yesterday.
#Person2#: Because it rained last night.
#Person1#: Did it?
#Person2#: It sure did. It was a heavy storm, with lots of thunder.
#Person1#: I was fast asleep, and didn't hear a thing.
#Person2#: Well, it may rain again later today.
#Person1#: Maybe. I see some dark clouds moving in.
#Person2#: There may also be a strong wind coming in.
#Person1#: It'll be dusty, too, I guess.
#Person2#: Maybe not. Dust is no longer a big problem in Beijing.
#Person1#: Why is that?
#Person2#: We've been planting trees for many years.
#Person1#: I see. The fall in Beijing is really beautiful.
#Person2#: But the summer isn't. It's scorching in the summer.
#Person1#: Then what about spring?
#Person2#: Spring is warm and short in Beijing.
#Person1#: It must be cold in the winter, though.
#Person2#: You got it. Oh, by the way, it may be really cool in the evening around this time of the year. Don't forget to put on more clothes, or you might catch a cold.
#Person1#: Thanks for reminding me.
#Person2#: You're welcome. | #Person1# and #Person2# are talking about the heavy rain last night and the weather in Beijing. |
Duke: Can't come to the party today, got an exam tomorrow

Brent: haha I did the test, turns out I'm in Slytherin :D
Barry: lol, I knew it, you bastard :D
Brent: hihi
Nigel: I'm in Hufflepuff :(
Barry: eh that's even worse... | Brent and Nigel did the Harry Potter houses test. |
#Person1#: Very good. Now, I have a couple of final questions.
#Person2#: I hope they're not too hard!
#Person1#: Well, why should we hire you?
#Person2#: I think that I would be a perfect fit in this company. I have a unique combination of strong technical acumen, and outstanding soft skills. you know, I excel at building strong, long-term customer relationships. For example, when I headed the customer support department in my previous company, our team solved about seventy percent of our customers'problems. I decided that we needed better information and technical preparation on our products, so after I implemented a series of training sessions in coordination with our technical department, we were able to solve ninety percent of our customers'issues. Given the opportunity, I could bring this kind of success to this company.
#Person1#: Impressive! So, what would you consider to be your greatest weakness?
#Person2#: I struggle with organization and time management. Punctuality has never been a strength of mine. I find it hard to organize my time efficiently. I have actually addressed this weakness recently, by attending a workshop on efficient time management. It helped me a lot, by providing me with great insights on how to get organized and use my time efficiently, so I think I'm getting better now.
#Person1#: Great. . . Well, let me tell you that I am very pleased with this interview. We are short-listing our candidates this week, and next week we will inform our short listed candidates of the day and time for a second interview with our CEO.
#Person2#: Great, thanks a lot! I hope to hear from you! Good bye. | #Person1# interviews #Person2# about #Person2#'s strengths and greatest weaknesses. #Person1# is satisfied with #Person2#'s answers and informs #Person2# about the approximate time of the result and a second interview. |

#Person1#: Oh, that's too bad. Is anything important in it?
#Person2#: Just my wallet. There's some money in it.
#Person1#: Is your ID lost?
#Person2#: No, thank god.
#Person1#: Was your backpack stolen?
#Person2#: No, I took a taxi yesterday, and I left it in the car.
#Person1#: Sorry to hear that. Did you call the driver?
#Person2#: No, I didn't ask for the recipt so I don't have the number.
#Person1#: That's too bad. Is there anything I can do?
#Person2#: Can I borrow some money?
#Person1#: Sure, how much do you need?
#Person2#: About 50 dollars.
#Person1#: That's no problem.
#Person2#: Thanks. I'll pay you back on Friday.
#Person1#: That'll be fine. Here you are.
#Person2#: Thank you.
#Person1#: What are you going to do now?
#Person2#: I'm going to take a bus home, and ask for some money from my mom.
#Person1#: If you wait a minute I drive you home.
#Person2#: That's really nice of you! | #Person2# left #Person2#'s backpack and wallet in a taxi and failed to contact the driver because #Person2# didn't have the number. #Person1# lends 50 dollars to #Person1# and will drive #Person2# home. |
#Person1#: What case do you have against the police?
#Person2#: I want to take them to court for arresting me.
#Person1#: I don't understand.
#Person2#: There was no reason for them to arrest me.
#Person1#: They let you go, didn't they?
#Person2#: They released me the next morning.
#Person1#: They detained you at the station?
#Person2#: That's exactly what they did.
#Person1#: Why did they arrest you?
#Person2#: They said I matched the description of a robber.
#Person1#: I get it now.
#Person2#: I'm definitely taking them to court. | #Person2# tells #Person1# that #Person2# wants to take the police to court because they mistakenly arrested #Person2#. |

Professor A: Anybo anybody in the in this group do doing anything for Eurospeech ? Or is that what is that
PhD F: we are We are trying to to do something with the Meeting Recorder digits and But And the good thing is that pause there is this first deadline and well some people from OGI are working on a paper for this but there is also the special session about th Aurora which is which has an extended deadline So The deadline is in May
Professor A: For Oh for Eurospeech ?
PhD F: So f only for the experiments on Aurora So it it s good
PhD B: Mm Where is Eurospeech this year ?
Professor A: So the deadline When s the deadline ? When s the deadline ?
PhD F: ? I think it s the thirteenth of May
Professor A: That s great ! It s great So we should definitely get something in for that But on meeting digits maybe there s Maybe
PhD F: So it would be for the first deadline
Professor A: So I mean I I think that you could certainly start looking at at the issue but but I think it s probably on s from what Stephane is saying it s it s unlikely to get sort of active participation from the two sides until after they ve
PhD B: Well I could at least Well I m going to be out next week but I could pause try to look into like this CVS over the web That seems to be a very popular way of pause people distributing changes and over you know multiple sites and things so maybe if I can figure out how do that easily and then pass the information on to everybody so that it s you know as easy to do as possible and and people do not it will not interfere with comment their regular work then maybe that would be good And I think we could use it for other things around here too So
Grad C: That s cool And if you are interested in using CVS I ve set it up here
PhD B: I used it a long time ago but it s been a while so maybe I can ask you some questions
Grad C: Oh So I will be away tomorrow and Monday but I will be back on Tuesday or Wednesday
Professor A: Dave the other thing actually is is this business about this wave form Maybe you and I can talk a little bit at some point about coming up with a better demonstration of the effects of reverberation for our web page cuz the I mean actually the the It made a good good audio demonstration because when we could play that clip the the the really obvious difference is that you can hear two voices and in the second one and only hear
PhD B: Maybe we could just pause like talk into a cup
Professor A: No I mean it sound it sounds pretty reverberant but I mean you can not when you play it back in a room with a you know a big room nobody can hear that difference really They hear that it s lower amplitude and they hear there s a second voice but that actually that makes for a perfectly good demo because that s a real obvious thing that you hear two voices Well that that that s OK But for the the visual just you know I would like to have you know the spectrogram again because you are you are you are visual abilities as a human being are so good you can pick out you know you you look at the good one you look at the cru the screwed up one and and you can see the features in it without trying to
PhD B: I noticed that in the pictures I thought `` hey you know th `` I My initial thought was `` this is not too bad ! ``
Professor A: Right But you have to you know if you look at it closely you see `` well here s a place where this one has a big formant formant maj major formants here are are moving quite a bit `` And then you look in the other one and they look practically flat So I mean you could that s why I was thinking in a section like that you could take a look look at just that part of the spectrogram and you could say `` Oh This this really distorted it quite a bit ``
PhD B: The main thing that struck me in looking at those two spectrograms was the difference in the high frequencies It looked like for the one that was farther away you know it really everything was attenuated and I mean that was the main visual thing that I noticed
Professor A: Right But it s it s So So there are clearly are spectral effects Since you are getting all this indirect energy then a lot of it does have have reduced high frequencies But the other thing is the temporal courses of things really are changed and and we want to show that in some obvious way The reason I put the wave forms in there was because they they do look quite different And so I thought `` Oh this is good `` but I I just After after they were put in there I did not really look at them anymore cuz I just they were different So I want something that has a is a more interesting explanation for why they are different
Grad C: Oh So maybe we can just substitute one of these wave forms and then do some kind of zoom in on the spectrogram on an interesting area
Professor A: The other thing that we had in there that I did not like was that the most obvious characteristic of the difference when you listen to it is that there s a second voice and the the the the the cuts that we have there actually do not correspond to the full wave form It s just the first I think there was something where he was having some trouble getting so much in or I I forget the reason behind it But it it s it s the first six seconds or something of it and it s in the seventh or eighth second or something where the second voice comes in So we we would like to actually see the voice coming in too I think since that s the most obvious thing pause when you listen to it
PhD F: I brought some I do not know if some figures here Well I start we started to work on spectral subtraction And the preliminary results were very bad So the thing that we did is just to add spectral subtraction before this the Wall process which contains LDA on line normalization And it hurts a lot And so we started to look at at things like this which is well it s So you have the C zero parameters for one Italian utterance And I plotted this for two channels Channel zero is the close mic microphone and channel one is the distant microphone And it s perfectly synchronized so And the sentence contain only one word which is `` Due `` And it can not clearly be seen Where where is it ? Where is the word ?
PhD B: oh a plot of C zero
PhD F: This is a plot of C zero when we do not use spectral substraction and when there is no on line normalization So There is just some filtering with the LDA and and some downsampling upsampling
PhD B: C zero is the close talking ? and s channel one is the
PhD F: So C zero is very clean actually then when we apply mean normalization it looks like the second figure though it is not Which is good Well the noise part is around zero and And then the third figure is what happens when we apply mean normalization and variance normalization So What we can clearly see is that on the speech portion the two channel come becomes very close but also what happens on the noisy portion is that the variance of the noise is
PhD B: This is still being a plot of C zero ? OK
PhD F: This is still C zero
PhD B: Can I ask what does variance normalization do ? w What is the effect of that ?
PhD F: It normalized th the standard deviation You you get an estimate of the standard deviation
PhD B: No I understand what it is but I mean what does it what s what is
Professor A: What s the rationale ?
PhD B: We Why why do it ?
Professor A: Well I mean because everything If you have a system based on Gaussians everything is based on means and variances So if there s an overall reason You know it s like if you were doing image processing and in some of the pictures you were looking at there was a lot of light and and in some there was low light you know you would want to adjust for that in order to compare things And the variance is just sort of like the next moment you know ? So what if one set of pictures was taken so that throughout the course it was went through daylight and night ten times another time it went thr I mean i is you know how how much how much vari Or no I guess a better example would be how much of the light was coming in from outside rather than artificial light So if it was a lot if more was coming from outside then there would be the bigger effect of the of the of the change in the So every mean every all all of the the parameters that you have especially the variances are going to be affected by the overall variance And so in principle you if you remove that source then you know you can
PhD B: I see OK So would the major effect is that you are going to get is by normalizing the means
Professor A: That s the first order but thing
PhD B: but it may help First order effects
Professor A: but then the second order is is the variances
PhD B: And it may help to do the variance OK
Professor A: because again if you if you are trying to distinguish between E and B if it just so happens that the E s were a more you know were recorded when when the energy was was was larger or something or the variation in it was larger than with the B s then this will be give you some some bias So the it s removing these sources of variability in the data that have nothing to do with the linguistic component
PhD B: Gotcha OK Sorry to interrupt
Professor A: But the the but let me as ask ask you something
PhD F: Yep And it and this
Professor A: i is if If you have a good voice activity detector is not is not it going to pull that out ?
PhD F: Sure If they are good Well what it it shows is that perhaps a good voice activity detector is is good before on line normalization and that s what we ve already observed But voice activity detection is not an easy thing neither
PhD B: But after you do this after you do the variance normalization I mean I do not know it seems like this would be a lot easier than this signal to work with
PhD F: So What I notice is that while I prefer to look at the second figure than at the third one well because you clearly see where speech is | Eurospeech was taking place in Denmark and the team was planning on submitting a paper to it. The team was also discussing how to best present the reverberation problem. The team thought that the spectral effects of the reverberation were very clear. They would have to figure out how to remove the sources of variance from the data to capture only the main voice. |

Industrial Designer: I wanted to explain the working design of the remote control It is possibly very handy if you want to design one of those well so it basically works as I r wrote down in this little summary when you press a button that is when you do pr for example when you want to turn up the volume a little connection is made the the rubber button just presses on a on a little print plate which makes a connection that gives the chips which is mounted beneath those that plastic of a rubber button senses that a connection has been made and know and knows what button you pressed becau for example the the volume up or volume down button the the chip makes a Morse code like signal which then is si signalled to several transistors which makes which sends the signal to a little let You know what a let is ? And that makes the the infrared lights signal which is sent to the television set which has a sensor in it to sense the signal of the infrared That is basically how it works the findings that I found searching up some detailed information about the remote controls are that they are very easy to produce it is pis it is possible to make them in mass production because it is as eas it is as easy as printing a page just fibreglass plate is b is covered with some coatings and and chips and the technologys already available we do not have to find out how remote controls have to work or how that how to make some chips that are possible to to to transmit those signals I made a little animation of about how a tran our remote controller works
Project Manager: it is a little bug it is in the in the smart board
Industrial Designer: the subcomponent I suppose that you understand what a subcomponent is is f in this example it is the button when it is pressed down the switch is ter is is switched on so with the wire is sent to the to the chip in cooperation with the battery of course because to make a a signal possible you have to have some sort of li a d ad electronic Yes w after it is being composed by the chip the signal is transported to the infrared bulb and from there it signals a Morse codelike signal to the to the b to the bulb in in the television set S I wrote down some personal preferences about the remote control Of course it is very handy if the remote control is hand held so you do not have to wind it up or something or just is it is it is very light to to make to use it I personally pref prefer that it would be p come available in the various colours and easy to use buttons But I suppose that the one of the other team members thought of that too
User Interface: I have got it there too
Industrial Designer: And it is possible for several designs and easy to use b sorry easy to use buttons Perhaps soft touch touch screen buttons because the rubber buttons are always they slightly they can be slightly damaged so the numbers on the buttons are not possible to read anymore And well as I said before th we can make several designs well that is my contribution to this meeting and | Industrial Designer designed remote control with handy size and made a connection with chips under the plastic of rubber button. Chip transmitted signal by Morse code which made infra-red lights signal could be sent to the TV. Industrial Designer prefered remote control with various colours so that it would be easy to use. On the other hand, Industrial Designer thought rubber buttons were easy to damage so they could make several designs. |

#Person1#: hi, darling! I have a one-month vacation saved up. How about a trip to Europe?
#Person2#: I could go for that. But I'm afraid our budget is a little tight this year.
#Person1#: oh, but I really need to leave this town for a change. Working day after day has worn me out. Do you have any other suggestions?
#Person2#: we should probably think about going somewhere that isn't too far away. How about the countryside? There must be many interesting places, and we could enjoy the fresh air and the delicious local spec
#Person1#: wonderful! I think that's a great idea. How soon until we can make this happen? I can't wait!
#Person2#: tomorrow I have an appointment with my dentist. What about next Monday?
#Person1#: perfect. I'll start preparing tomorrow. If we're going to drive, I'll need to fill up the tank.
#Person2#: no need. I think it's still plenty full. Even so, I'd rather travel by bus or train. It would cost much less than driving. Oil prices are soaring nowadays, you know.
#Person1#: we can take the train, that will be faster. I'll book the tickets tomorrow morning.
#Person2#: great! Oh, one more thing, don't forget to check the weather before we go. I'd hate to get caught in the rain.

Daniel: btw have you started watching the series yet?
Sally: the Americans? I have and I am in love with it. It's really good. I mean I rarely get to watch series that keep consistent throughout the seasons and I have been binge watching this one since the last time we spoke.
Daniel: I knew you'd like it. The things they do are crazy, there's no way to tell how many people they've killed ;)
Sally: I know, but for some reason it doesn't make you like them less, I think that's the best part about it!
Daniel: Idk, I find Page hard to stomach sometimes... Annoying little know it all
Sally: Like in that scene when she thought she would fight Phillip? Like she stands a chance! He wiped he floor with her.
Daniel: Yeah, I really enjoyed that one. Have you seen all the episodes?
Sally: Not yet, last season left. NO SPOILERS PLS
Daniel: I wouldn't do it to you. So which one do you like better: Felicity or Americans?
Sally: it's kinda weird to see Keri Russel be so badass but she's so good at it! Felicity was a bit too whiny for my liking. Elizabeth is like a stone with no feelings, works better for me. You?
Daniel: Def Elizabeth. That's why I stopped watching Homeland, what's her name was too all over the place. I seriously doubt somebody that unstable would be CIA.
Sally: She does get a bit crazy... I didn't like how they made her the only 'enlightened' one, so unreal. Stopped watching after the 3rd season, didn't like what they did to Brody.
Daniel: I didn't even get that far. Shame. really thought it had potential and her crazy completely ruined it for me. I was hoping they would kill her off the entire time.
Sally: That's a bit harsh ;) But I get it, you probably hoped for less drama and more action. | Daniel and Sally enjoy "The Americans" but Daniel dislikes Page. They both prefer Keri Russel in "The Americans" than "Felicity". They both were disappointed with "Homeland". |

Professor B: and and let s see What else did we have in there ? I guess it makes a l at this point this is I I guess I should probably look at these others a little bit And you you yellowed these out but Oh I see that that one you can not use because of the delay Those look pretty good let s see that one Well even the just the the second row does not look that bad right ? That s just ? And and that looks like an interesting one too
PhD C: Actually the the second line is pretty much like the first line in yellow except that we do not have this KLT on the first on the left part of the diagram We just have the features as they are
Professor B: so when we do this weighted measure we should compare the two cuz it might even come out better And it s it s it s a little slightly simpler | The professor thought that the results in the experiment without silence detection were okay as well. He thought some sort of weighted measure between other features should result in good performance. |

Project Manager: Looking at what we have got we we want an LCD display with a spinning wheel
Industrial Designer: Let us let us try to r rub off things and
Project Manager: rub off some of those
Industrial Designer: hand dynamos are definitely out right ? You you got a wind dynamo
Project Manager: it is not that is not streamlined and sexy having a having a wind up
Industrial Designer: kinetic energy does seem to have some kind of appeal
Marketing: It is about the practicality of it really is not it ? You know ?
Industrial Designer: As against a watch which constantly keeps moving this this thing will have to be tapped every time which which might be very frustrating for the user
Project Manager: Depends how much how much movement it really needs
Industrial Designer: Kinetic energy it needs I do not have too much technical information on that
Project Manager: Pr presumably if they are suggesting it then we could use it
Industrial Designer: right let us keep it option keep an option
Project Manager: I would I would keep it on
Industrial Designer: the flat co completely flat case is definitely out right ? It has to be at least curved from one side
Project Manager: We do not want that it is no it is not not vegetable
Industrial Designer: we still have all all the options Wood do you think wood will be a good idea ?
User Interface: N wood is I can not n how do you I mean you can not keep it really small you can not make it like thin and
Marketing: I can not imagine a m wooden remote control
User Interface: The wood thing Because you need to you n you need to put all the technology in so I mean if the case you add the case and it it becomes a bit bulky
Industrial Designer: if if it is really thin if it is really thin it it is likely to break it is it is much more
Project Manager: and given that we are we are looking at more spongy material preferences I ha would think maybe rubber or plastic is more
User Interface: YOU wood is not really
Marketing: Well it is not very cleanable either It is it is not a practical I mean it is it is alright for a table but for a remote control you know And splinters and stuff and It just m does not make any sense I think is the thing with wood
User Interface: in the case of remote control not really
Industrial Designer: now for the really interesting stuff the interface Right so the the pushbuttons is is our expertise in the industry but it seems to be out of trend you know nobody seems to be
Marketing: You have to have some pushbuttons do not you ?
User Interface: but you I think for for the channel numb channel numbers you still need them would not you ? so for channel numbers but
Industrial Designer: Oh if if we have LCD displays that opens up a whole world you know if you have an LCD display then mm you can select almost everything on the LCD display
User Interface: But I th but I think the LCD display is kind of it is faster with a m and w if we dis and when we s discussed that we might like this flipping open thing then I mean y you can use it as a normal remote control but if you do want to use LCD then you flip it open but it is it it is more timeconsuming
Marketing: I think this is going back to the the graph at the beginning that I made where you know the buttons that people use all the time you want buttons for them and everything else menudriven
Industrial Designer: So in in the buttons we have for the channels also we have options Do you do we enumerate everything from zero to nine ? Or do we have just channel plus channel minus just to just to scroll ?
User Interface: No no I mean mm we we definitely need the the numbers because it is otherwise people do not want to flip through all the channels
Project Manager: Do we need them on as buttons or do we need them as LCD ?
Industrial Designer: Or on the LCD we can you know
Marketing: It is it is the I think the thing is so if someone just wants to turn on their TV and put on a channel then it should be easier to use than any other remote and then if someone wants to you know change the contrast on their TV and they should be able to do that and it should be accessible but you know I mean most of the time I mean there is a limit to how much the biggest techno geek can spend fiddling with the TV I think is the the the issue there
Industrial Designer: so buttons definitely in but oh shall we try to draw a prec
Project Manager: I think that is what you guys are going to do next so if we put down the key things that we want
Industrial Designer: Right so what about the the scrolling ?
User Interface: but n I I am not completely completely clear I about the spinning wheel So I think it it does not make sense to have both like a scrolling and spinning thing it is you can al include everything in the spinning if you
Project Manager: Just spinning and not scrolling I would say
Marketing: I would say the s the s the spinning goes at a high speed to th to the scrolling wheel so you have to decide whether you you know you want to be going so fast or not But I mean the the thing with this whole if y you are planning on making it out of rubber on the basis that it is spongy then I am not sure how well a scrolling wheel would work
Project Manager: But if you have got a if if you have got a flipped thing effectively it is something that is curved on one side and flat on the other side but you folded it in half
User Interface: Ah but I mean you can
Marketing: but y your spinning wheel tends to go to one side
Project Manager: Th that would be on one side uhhuh
Industrial Designer: I am not sure it will be a good idea to construct the whole thing out of rubber i it
Project Manager: No I think it is just the casing rubber on the outside
User Interface: I I think so too I mean the case would be
Marketing: You want an outside of rubber
User Interface: the case would be rubber and the the buttons
Marketing: and then open it up and
Industrial Designer: Or or at the corners edges just the edges covered by rubber or something like that Everything else in plastic or even titanium if we want to use it
Marketing: Or maybe like interchangeable cases Because I know like we are going back to iPods again n the whole spinning wheel but I have like a you know obviously my iPods not made of rubber but then I have a little rubber case that goes over the top of it and I can change the colour theoretically to match my outfit
Industrial Designer: so so that gives us a more trendy look as well
Marketing: I think the spinning wheel is definitely very now
Industrial Designer: Right and we are going more for the trends than for the usability anyway right ?
Project Manager: that is what they are after
Industrial Designer: So I will rub that out And colours can be provided with the case rather than but we still need to te think about the colour of our remote as such you know just keep it black or
User Interface: I think we it was a a requirement that we use our th the colours of our company so would it be like yellow grey and black or something or
Marketing: That does not fit in with the whole vegetable theme though but I mean do you think we could incorporate the colours of the company into the buttons and then make the colour of the main remote the colour like vegetable colours do you know ? So you could have like I mean I suppose vegetable colours would be orange and green and some reds and maybe purple and that and then you would pick the buttons in company colours to to match with it
Industrial Designer: if you g go over to the integrated circuits since we are having LCDs there there is no way that we are will be able to what we do need to consider however is that the price is going up for the ever every such thing that we are considering but since LCDs seems to be a definite yes so it seems to be one area where we would want to spend So I will rub off the other two
Marketing: So are we discounting solar energy because rubbers going to be used in there somewhere or
Industrial Designer: Oh is oh the constraint was
Project Manager: We can not have solar panels with rubber so
Marketing: solar panels with the rubber so we lose that I think
Project Manager: Shall we go for if we are going for rubber we think on as our case and then
User Interface: Mmhmm And the buttons as well I think
Project Manager: We have got five more minutes
Industrial Designer: we will have using the simple battery will be a safer option as compared to the kinetic energy one I mean a although it does seem interesting But it does not hold any advantages as such for a
Marketing: It is just a gimmick
Industrial Designer: so r we understand this better now that the the speaker is for the feedback right ? It it says the things that you type in or something like that so
Project Manager: Mmhmm I think if we can if we can include them at not too much extra cost then I would put them in
Industrial Designer: Ye we we do not have too much information about it
User Interface: but it it I think it should be quite cheap because it is from our own company
Project Manager: It is from the company so
Industrial Designer: so so th this is in as well then the sample speaker
Project Manager: And the case is curved on one side but then flat flat so it is flipped into each other Can I pull the thing out the back of your computer ?
Marketing: Sorry do you want me to
Project Manager: Nothing it is right I am just There we go
Marketing: What does ICS mean ? cool So it is advanced integrated circuits ?
Project Manager: oh now I have gone too far
Industrial Designer: we we are definitely going in for voice recognition as well as LCDs mm
Project Manager: We are on our way So we have basically worked out that we are going with a simple battery the advanced chip and a curved on one side case which is folded in on itself made out of rubber and the buttons are also rubber We are having pushbuttons on the outside and then on the inside an LCD with spinning wheel and we are incorporating voice recognition That is our overall concept and it is going to look sort of vegetable and be in bright vegetable colours
User Interface: Uhhuh So w w would with have the spinning wheel inside with the LCD or would it be on the outer
Marketing: Imagine it would be inside
Project Manager: I think it is on the
Marketing: So actually that could like really cut down your thing so you have got your outside which is like minimalist and then you open it up and you have got a screen and a spinning wheel which you can incorporate buttons into so you have still not got like a lot of stuff in the You have maybe got you know like if you are modelling on iPod you have got five buttons and a wheel and four of the buttons are in the wheel and the other ones the little bit inside the wheel
Project Manager: so now we have got thirty minutes before our next meeting In the meantime the Industrial Designer over here is going to work on the look and feel design which I will presume he will work out what that means the User Interface Designer will work on the user interface design and the Marketing Expert is going to work on product evaluation And as well as that the two designers are going to work together on our prototype following those instructions that we have just come up with using modelling clay and you will get extra instructions from your personal coach Is that all ? And anyone who has not put their their presentation in the project documents folder it would be good just so in case we have to refer to it
Marketing: Cool I am going to go and sit on my own
Project Manager: Y ah nobody wants to talk to you
Marketing: I know I am hated I have got a bit tangled up in all this
User Interface: So but shall I move away first or shall I stay here with
Project Manager: I do not know maybe I would car | They decided to implement a LCD display with a scroll wheel. Instead of using hand dynamos, the group decided to use a wind dynamo which was more environmentally friendly. And they would keep the kinetic energy as an option and keep the spongy material preferences as well as voice recognition. At last, groupmates agreed to apply interchangeable cases with incorporated colours to make the remote more trendy. They would use a simple battery, the advanced chip, a curved side case and rubber buttons. |
#Person1#: Can I help you?
#Person2#: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I haven't been able to find it.
#Person1#: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?
#Person2#: Yes, uh. . . I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Oh, here it is.
#Person1#: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. It's down the hall and to the right.
#Person2#: I'm sorry - I still don't understand.
#Person1#: You see, your professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.
#Person2#: So, will I be able to find this book?
#Person1#: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it.
#Person2#: Okay. Thank you. I understand now.
#Person1#: Will there be anything else?
#Person2#: No! I am on my way to the reserve room.

User Interface: so the interface concept The interface specification what people how they interact with it basically I think so the method we looked at existing designs what are the what is good about them what is bad about them I looked at their flaws so we are going to look at their flaws everything and what the survey told us and what we think would be good so a bit of imagination the findings I have got some pictures to show you as well so most remote controls use graphical interface where you have got s buttons and you point it rather than having the output as a a stream of text or something and we also found that there is inconsistent layout which makes it confusing So I think for our remote control There is some inconsistency already in ec existing in between remote controls but I think standard kind of shape and play and those kind of but buttons like the the top right for on and off or something I think people find that importantbecause then it is easy to use | In general, the team only collected the flaws of the existing remotes. According to the User Interface, the existing remotes were difficult to use because of the inconsistent layout, too many buttons and shape problems. For each problem, the team tried to give the solution. For example, their new remotes would have a standard layout, limited buttons and organic shapes. It was believed that by solving all these problems, the new remotes would be easy for the customers to use. |

archaeologists: Some say a great beast inhabited this land many eons ago. I'm looking for its bones.
grave digger: Kinda funny, ain't it--you and I being here at the same time--I'm here to put bones in the ground and here you are to dig bones up
archaeologists: Aye. That is humorous. Say, you tell me if you see any odd bones while you're digging right?
grave digger: Aye. I usually know where the bones are in the graveyard though, even when the markers are fallen or worn away. I'm likely only to find worms.
archaeologists: Of course of course. Do you know how this tree got planted right here in the way by chance?
grave digger: It's an old tree, that elm. Been here as long as I can remember. Say, I can ask the priests though next time I see them.

Professor A: So I th I think that the But that s that s using a a pretty huge amount of data mostly not digits of course but but then again Well In fact mostly not digits for the actual training the H M Ms whereas in this case we are just using digits for training the H M Did anybody mention about whether the the SRI system is a is is doing the digits the wor as a word model or as a sub s sub phone states ?
PhD E: I guess it s it s allophone models I think so because it s their very d huge their huge system And But So There is one difference Well the SRI system the result for the SRI system that are represented here are with adaptation So there is It s their complete system and including on line unsupervised adaptation And if you do not use adaptation the error rate is around fifty percent worse I think if I remember
Professor A: It s tha it s that much huh ?
PhD E: Nnn It s It s quite significant
Professor A: But but what what I think I would be interested to do given that is that we we should take I guess that somebody s going to do this right ? is to take some of these tandem things and feed it into the SRI system right ?
PhD E: We can do something like that But But I guess the main point is the data because I am not sure Our back end is is fairly simple but until now well the attempts to improve it or have fail Ah well I mean what Chuck tried to to to do
Professor A: but he s doing it with the same data right ? I mean so to So there s there s there s two things being affected I mean One is that that you know there s something simple that s wrong with the back end We ve been playing a number of states I I do not know if he got to the point of playing with the number of Gaussians yet but but you know But so far he had not gotten any big improvement but that s all with the same amount of data which is pretty small
PhD E: Mmm So we could retrain some of these tandem on on huge
Professor A: Well you could do that but I m saying even with it not with that part not retrained just just using having the H M Ms much better H M
PhD E: Ah Just f for the HMM models | The professor thought that they were constrained by the shortage of data in the backend. Bigger companies had massive amounts of data to train their models. He recalled that they had been playing with the states in the back-end, but the results had not been too fruitful. |

The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We will now go to the honourable member for Calgary Skyview Ms Sahota
Ms. Jag Sahota (Calgary Skyview, CPC): Mr Chair as communities begin to ease restrictions I remain mystified that according to this government Parliament is not an essential service If it were up to the Prime Minister he would not have to answer to anyone That is not how democracy works We in the opposition have been long calling for the return of Parliament which would be possible while still maintaining public health guidelines Canadians deserve to be represented in the House of Commons by the elected member of Parliament While the work we do in our constituencies is incredibly important it is equally important to bring those voices back to Ottawa to debate to question and to hold the government to account This is fundamental to the role of an elected representative The role of the opposition is crucial now more than ever when billions of dollars are being spent with little oversight Our role as members of Parliament is to uphold our democracy and to be present This is the greatest pandemic in our lifetime Now is not the time to hide behind a podium If this government were doing the best job for Canadians they would not need to hide Thank you
